Title ("Playboy magazine is closing down") is misleading. They are stopping the print version of the magazine, not digital.
> With all of this in mind, we have decided that our Spring 2020 Issue, which arrives on U.S. newsstands and as a digital download this week, will be our final printed publication for the year in the U.S. We will move to a digital-first publishing schedule for all of our content including the Playboy Interview, 20Q, the Playboy Advisor and of course our Playmate pictorials. In 2021, alongside our digital content offerings and new consumer product launches, we will bring back fresh and innovative printed offerings in a variety of new forms–through special editions, partnerships with the most provocative creators, timely collections and much more. Print is how we began and print will always be a part of who we are.

- smacktoward 7y ago"The print version" in the parent comment is clearly referring to the flagship magazine, which is indeed what they are shutting down. They're saying they may still produce printed products that aren't the magazine. Which may be true, but the magazine is what most people think of when they hear the name "Playboy."
- listenallyall 7y agoI disagree with your comment and stand by my own.
- dang 7y agoI think the problem here is that they're vague about what the story is. I read the paragraph more times than it deserves, and all that's clear is that they won't print a magazine this year after their Spring issue, plus maybe they will or won't do various things in the future. Given the vagueness, it's not surprising that you and kranner interpreted it differently. I've changed the title to say "stop producing a print version" since they're at least going to stop for now, whether or not they start again.

- dang 7y agoPlease don't do this here.
